Hand-forged chandelier from Greatchandeliers.com
"Iron can go traditional or contemporary,"
says N.Y.C. designer Alysa Weinstein, who suggests hanging this chandelier over a simple pine or white marble table, depending on the look you want. Weinstein also likes the small crystal chandeliers on this site, which she uses in bedrooms and even bathrooms. The hitch, she says, is that "you have to assemble the fixtures yourself. But for $300, why not?" Wrought-iron fixture, $297; greatchandeleirs.com.
